Give anonymous modules and classes names when they are inspected.
Usage
Named modules
fancy_module = Named::Module.new('FancyModule') do
def module_method
puts 'Hello from the module'
end
end
fancy_module.inspect # => "Named::Module:FancyModule:0x7fa9ea9e6178"Named classes
# subclasses Array
fancy_class = Named::Class.new('FancyClass', Array) do
def class_method
puts 'Hello from the class'
end
end
# Inspection string shows the superclass
fancy_class.inspect => "Named::Class:Array:FancyClass:0x7fa9ea8aaea8"Using them together
fancy_class.send(:include, fancy_module)
fancy_class.ancestors # => [Named::Class:Array:FancyClass:0x7fa9ea8aaea8,
# Named::Module:FancyModule:0x7fa9ea9e6178,
# Named::Class, Named::Naming,
# Array, Kernel, BasicObject]
instance = fancy_class.new
instance.module_method # => 'Hello from the module'
instance.class_method # => 'Hello from the class'Installation
